Getting beyond blame in the Armenia-Azerbaijan peace process

An article full of baseless ideas and slander against Azerbaijan, authored by Stefan Peshdimalci, known as a radical representative of the Armenian diaspora, was published some time ago in the U.S. magazine The National Interest, in which the Armenia–Azerbaijan peace process was also criticized. In response, The National Interest published an article by former diplomat Anar Jahangirli titled “Getting Beyond Blame in the Armenia-Azerbaijan Peace Process.”

1news.media presents the article:

Peace between Armenia and Azerbaijan will only be achieved if grievances on both sides are acknowledged.

When Azerbaijani president Ilham Aliyev and Armenian prime minister Nikol Pashinyan shook hands with Donald Trump at the White House on August 8, 2025, it wasn’t just another photo opportunity. For the first time in decades, the leaders of Azerbaijan and Armenia set out a roadmap to end a conflict that has scarred both nations for a generation.
